How long does it take for the vines to strangle the tree?
It depends on the vine and the tree type. An evergreen vine would be the strongest .Then a perennial vine. Then a annual vine. Trees can be hard wood or soft wood. I have seen a wisteria, grape, smilax, poison ivy and Virginia creeper vine at the base up to 12 inches in diameter. It will vary on many of these factors. To prevent it you need to put down a preemergent for any mature seeds it will drop. You will also need to remove it at the root ball. Being careful not to hurt the tree. Vines usually have airborial roots and areas where they crawl under the surface up to about 8 inches. They are hard to control. But as far as putting a time frame on it? Not possible to many aspects and circumstances to consider. Hope this helps.

What is the main purpose for having a purpose?
I've spent a lot of time learning, and trying to understand why having purpose in life is so important. I finally came to an understanding. Having a purpose in life, and following through with it, gives the person both a sense of meaning, and worth in their life, as well as fulfillment. When one feels like they are fulfilling their purpose they are much more likely to live a happier, and more enjoyable life. As well as feeling as though there is worth in their existence. Fulfilling your purpose here can make people feel whole, and feel good about themselves.

To satisfy a feeling of belonging or want for yourself to fit in.
The idea of having a purpose is a "benign delusion" that helps most people cope with life's meaningless stresses and incomprehensible disasters. If you can find a way to abandon the "benign delusion" of having a purpose and still cope with the hard parts of reality you might do better. However if the "benign delusion" of having a purpose includes other people, I cannot recommend abandoning it as that may be less benign than just keeping the delusion undisturbed.
The function in evolution of "benign delusions" such as having a purpose, etc. are usually to assist binding human societies, human groups, and human families together. The systems in the brain for their formation evolved long before language did (most primates and some other mammals and certain bird species also can form them), so beliefs had to form faster than they could be verified. Now our language often shows us the beliefs formed in "benign delusions" are wrong and that is very hard to accept.
The very same brain systems that support "benign delusions" can support clinical delusions, causing many mental illnesses. The very brain wiring that helps hold our societies and relationships together, is the root of delusional mental illness.
Really,,,,having purpose is a "benign delusion"?? Then just about every human being is delusional. Explain that concept please. The simple purpose of keeping oneself alive and well is a benign illusion?

How can Christians stop evil or can't they?
"All that is necessary for the triumph ofevil is that good men do nothing."
~ Edmund Burke: Irish orator, philosopher, & politician (1729 - 1797)
OpinionThe problem of good and evil is that it is of a subjective nature. Human perception results in a varied opinion on the subject of just what is good and what is evil. Certain actions are generally considered evil (such as murder, theft, rape) whereas other actions are more ambiguous (such as killing a someone to prevent rape). Because of human perception, there is no one clear definitive answer and in fact those who intend to stop evil can end up harming others or committing acts others view as evil. In fact many atrocities have been committed in the name of God, good, and religion such as the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the burning of heretics/witches. Ultimately ignorance, the lack of understanding, is a primary cause of much grief and suffering in the world. Those who choose to be ignorant rather than attempt to understand will invariably compound the problem rather than improve it. OpinionEvil is nothing more than a catagorical term for any human behavior that a particular person or group finds offensive or displeasing. Christians find Osama bin Laden's behavior to reek of evil, and he in turn finds christian behavior to reek of evil. Both viewpoints are correct when observed from the appropriate angle. Anyway...we can eliminate evil by coming to the realization that there is simply no such thing as "evil", or we can eliminate evil by eliminating all humans.What do you get your friend who is turning 13?
This depends on many different factors, including gender, hobbies, interests, and, interestingly enough, mental capacity. Having just turned thirteen myself, I believe that I can provide some useful information for the inquirer. If you know the person rather well, answer these questions: Do they enjoy reading? If so, what type of books? Romance? Fantasy? Action? Classics? Are they on the more artistic side? Could they do with a new set of paints or charcoal pencils? Do they prefer outdoor activities? What sports do they play? Do they play any instruments? But remember: Just because you like something doesn't necessarily mean that your friend will like it too. For example, if you are a diehard girly-girl who never goes without your nail polish, think twice before buying that basketball-shaped purse for your more tomboyish, basketball-playing friend. On the other hand, if you really don't know this person too well, consider a gift card. That way, they can purchase whatever they desire. Just keep in mind: make sure the retail outlet that the gift card is from is a store that your friend will enjoy shopping at. If I were in your position, I wouldn't purchase a Barnes and Noble giftcard for my football-playing, school-hating guy friend. Dear Inquirer, I wish you luck in the selection of a proper gift for your friend.

Muslim view:
Jesus did not commit suicide. In body, he was slain. Jesus, like all prophets, were tasked with the duty of delivering a message and scripture to a specific group of people. His audience didn't approve of him and since he couldn't look the other way, he was slain.

Well, after some thought on this subject and some research, the only answer we can expect is as fallows: There are millions and millions of earwigs in the world, if a bite was in anyway serious, there would have to have been an epidemic many long years ago. No vaccinations have been necessary so far.
